Upright Citizens Brigade - ASSSCAT 3000 in Forbes
David Serchuk On Media - Forbes.com
David Serchuk from Forbes magazine knows what's up when it comes to improv. Long form is a thousand times better than short form and Upright Citizens Brigade are a bunch of genius's. Only if some hip exec would actually get a hint and pick this thing up.
"Long-form improvised comedy goes nationwide. Long-form improv is the big brother to short form, which hit with the Americanized British-born TV show, Whose Line Is It Anyway? But long form has more sophisticated characters and themes, and, well, it’s longer. So far TV has resisted it, but that’s going to change. New York’s long-form masters, the Upright Citizens Brigade, proved how funny this form can be on the small screen, with their 2005 Bravo special, Assscat 3000. Now some hip exec will figure out how to showcase long form every week and change the way America views comedy forever."
